The Louver Museum first opened its doors to visitors in August 1793. It had more than 500 exhibits at the time. However, the museum's collection grew quickly. Many great artists gave or bequeathed their paintings to the museum. Since it was founded, the museum collection has assembled more than 300,000 artworks, but only 35,000 of them are displayed in the halls. Here you can find ancient Egyptian relics, Renaissance masterpieces, and paintings from the 13th to 20th centuries.
There are nine important and popular exhibitions that are always open: Near Eastern Antiquities; Egyptian Antiquities; Ancient Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculpture; Art's Objects; Fine Art; Graphic Art; The History of the Louver.
